Don’t want your picture taken, eh?
So, you don’t want your picture taken, eh? Seems like Hewlett-Packard has gotten a patent on something that will allow you to prevent people from taking your picture. It’s detailed here. In short, it will be a way for someone to tell the camera “Hey, I don’t want my picture taken”. This is an intersting […]
The Mac Mini as a Media Center
I want one even more now!
Orleans: The TV Series
Joe SieglerShortly after my wife and I were first married in the fall of 1996, we heard of a TV series to air early in 1997 starring Larry Hagman. Dallas had ended in 1991, and other than a (really great) Dallas reunion movie he hadn’t done a whole lot. So when I heard Hagman was not […]
Johnny Carson
When I sat down at the computer this evening to start reading about my Eagles getting to the Super Bowl, I saw the headline that Johnny Carson had died. That kind of bummed me out. I’ll be 40 in August, and when Carson had retired, I was 27, I had been watching him for awhile […]
A new blog for me
Those of you who know me know I love baseball. I’ve been running a fan website for the Texas Rangers sine December of 1998. It’s been fairly popular, even making it into the stadium program for 3 months last year! However, I finally decided to blogify my Rangers site. I turned my news section of […]
Desperate Housewives DVD
I personally have no real interest in this show. However, I know a few people who read my blog do. Apparently there will be DVD’s of this show released later this year. Here’s some more info. Hi Chana! :)

TechTV is officially dead
In a followup to my G4/TechTV rant from a week or two ago, I read today where TechTV can now officially be labeled dead. It’s been unoficially dead for months now, as G4/Comcast bought it out, and the castrated it to the point where it might as well have not been alive at all. However, […]
Anti Spyware Software
I spend a lot of time on the Internet, both personally and professionally. I say I’m on the net easily 10 hours a day every day (if not more). In all that time, I run into a lot of things. One of the things that has become more and more of an issue in the […]
More on G4 / TechTV
Well, there’s only two shows left on G4/TechTV from the old TechTV days. Screen Savers and Xplay. Everything has has been cancelled, and everyone else fired/let go save for a few random folks, plus Adam & Morgan. And Screen Savers is a sham, it’s got nowhere near the intelligence and knowledge that it used to […]
